Carol is thought to be appearing as co-anchor
alongside Andrea, and Sally to replace Tyler on the regular panel.

Time to say goodbye: Kate Thornton and Zoe Tyler have been axed from Loose Women following a drop in ratings

Loose Women has faced a significant
ratings drop since January, falling by nearly two-thirds. The ITV
programme now draws only 700,000 viewers, less even than BBC1's daytime
antiques show Bargain Hunt.

Guests on the chat show have included Joan Rivers and Katie Price, and
Cilla Black and Janet Street-Porter are former panellists. Loose Women
is know for its no-holes-barred debates, which focus heavily on women's
issues.

The show has been preparing for further upheaval as Coleen Nolan, 46, announced earlier this year that she is giving up the show to focus on other commitments.
